The Brazilian festival Bangers Open Air announced this Monday, the 10th, that the acts Knocked Loose and We Came As Romans have cancelled their participation in the 2025 edition.
According to a statement, the two bands decided to withdraw from the lineup despite "all efforts" made to keep them. "It was a unilateral decision by the bands to withdraw from the festival, and it should be noted that both are represented by the same agent, already had contracts, and had already received the agreed payments," informed the Bangers team.
The bands Blind Guardian and Destruction have been announced as new acts to be part of the event. More information about the new schedule should be released by the festival soon.
Bangers Open Air 2025 takes place on May 2nd, 3rd and 4th at the Memorial da América Latina. Tickets are still available for purchase on the Clube do Ingresso website .
